Question

When moving tax files for multiple years from one computer to a new computer, do I have to have the TurboTax program installed for each year of tax files I am moving?

To open them later you would need the programs installed ... however, if you have not saved the returns as PDFs yet do so now before you lose access to those programs. 




ALWAYS …..

Backup your return as BOTH a  PDF &  a  .TAXFILE:

And  PASSWORD PROTECT them AND copy/save them to a removable medium:
